@Babar F. H. Istanbul:
Are you really suggesting that Pak Army soldiers' arms be amputated?
Why worry, friends: The enemy is already afraid of even Arm-less Muslim. Why are you trying to fight with a borrowed sword anyway. You can Win a war when you Fight to have a Society of High Morals & Morale, Justice & Mercy, Education & Self-Reliance, Health & Human Services, Love & Care for the Weak, the Young, the Helpless & the Left-behind.
Don't Forget: Kafir hay to Shamshir pay karta hay Bharosa Momin hay to Bay Tegh bhi Larta hay Sipahi
FYI Intelligent Pakistanis, you cannot shoot down any US plane from this aircraft as they would have programmed in a way where the pilot cannot lock on US fighter plane.In event of war you can forget about spares and services from US as they will for sure definitely support India. F-16 and F-18 are very old aircrafts which will be phased out of US air force by 2020. Even India outright rejected it in MRCA deal. Most of the countries which are undergoing military modernization are light years ahead and are involved in developing 5th generation aircrafts or trying to induct 5th generation aircrafts by 2020 including India and China. It looks like only Pakistanis are very happy with the cold war tech like JF-17 which is not even inducted into Chinese air force.
ya state of the art... like 40 years ago..
then what are thousands of engineers doing in Air Force?? maintenance which is mainly a technicians job
@Maryam: whoz buying anyway?
@Scientist: seems to be a commentary coming out from China to keep on buying them. They themselves has have not roll out in their AF.
In my opinion, US is giving garbage to us, as there are latest jet fighters are available with US which she is keeping with herself.
I don't understand as why Pakistan is spending foreign currency to buy garbage from US?
Given our anti-amrican public and anti-american army, we should not buy F-16 from the United States of America!!!!!!!
@Imran Mohammad: OOhhh man! Am I happy or what!!
PAF Zindabaad ... Pakistan Paindabaad !!!
Are these the same planes Pak-US relationship is envied & hated. Is this the reason neighbors hate and belittle us. Is this the reason they get mad at U.S. Big deal, Wooo!
@Harish, whatever makes you and other Indies happy. Just be happy. :->
This is the Green aircraft... it represents the strength of muslims in the field of technology. The strength of belief this aircraft brings along cannot be compared with anything... ummm this is how I remember its entry into PAF during Zia's rule and it still inflicts us.
go america go any one such double standards.
A simple ceremony, was attended by a large number of PAF officials? haha
america sending planes to pakistan today? they must have been surely implanted with a kill chip!
I trust these planes as the first line of defense of our frontiers. I think we should invest in these planes than the chinese which even the PLA/Chinese air force has rejected!
Paint it green...and then give it to china...and then we will have many planes...
